Lymphatic drainage massage, also known as manual lymphatic drainage, is a gentle form of body massage used to relieve painful swelling, bloating and water retention caused by lymphedema.
Lymphedema happens when your tissues retain fluid left behind after your cardiovascular system sends blood to your tissues and organs.
The remaining fluid is called lymph.
Normally, your lymphatic system collects your lymph and returns it to your heart via a network of lymph vessels and lymph nodes.
When something disrupts your lymphatic system’s process, lymph collects in your body making you bloated due to water fluid retention.
Lymphatic drainage massage moves lymph from your tissues to your lymph nodes, which eases the swelling, water retention and bloat.
This in turn stimulates your lymphatic system to work more efficiently and flattens out ones skin.
The procedure is a very relaxing experience, towels are provided for your convenience.
Having received your consultation and found suitable for your Lymphatic Massage you will be invited to book your procedure.
